It was reported that the aspiration rate was not normal.The target lesion was located in the left distal superficial femoral artery (sfa) to the distal popliteal.A 2.1mm jetstream xc was used to treat the distal sfa for 140 seconds.The.014x300 thruway guidewire was removed from the guard, then the jetstream was advanced to the distal popliteal for treatment.During treatment of the second lesion, the guidewire was placed back in the guard; however, the atherectomy portion of the device lost power and the device never started spinning.Aspiration was not working at the same rate as normal.The pump did not work when attempting to rex the device.The device was removed from the patient over the guidewire.Another of the same device was used to complete the procedure.There were no patient complications.
